At least 200 children have been killed in Lebanon from ongoing Israeli attacks since March 2, Unicef says according to Al Jazeera.

Unicef said at least 59 children were killed or wounded in the war-battered country during the past week alone despite the “ceasefire” in effect since April 17.

“Children in Lebanon continue to be at the sharp end of ongoing violence, displacement, and exposure to traumatic events,” it said in a statement.

The overall casualty toll among children since March 2 has reached 200 killed and 806 injured — equivalent to nearly 14 children killed or wounded every day, it said.
